that, although extremely limited in variety, does very well what it can do.
Let’s take a look at some tips that show you exactly how to get the most out of these editing features.
Combine movies using QuickTime
Ever wondered what to do with all those 10-second video clips you’ve shot with your iPhone? Well, using QuickTime on your Mac, you can create your own home videos pretty easily just by merging those clips.
To do that, open any video in QuickTime. Then all you have to do is simply drag and drop any other video clip you want into the QuickTime window and it will seamlessly join the original video to form a new, separate movie. .
Even better: You can drag and drop as many video clips as you want and drag them around to change their position.
When your new masterpiece is ready, click Finished then save your video in your preferred format.
Cool Tip: While adding video clips to your new movie, you can also crop them so that your new movie shows exactly what you want.
Create your own movie (Or screen recording) on the spot
Did you know that you can create movies right on your Mac using QuickTime? The great thing about this is that all you need to do is open QuickTime’s Document menu and select the type of record you want to create right there.
In fact, one of the least known features of QuickTime is that you can not only make movies and audio recordings with it, but you can also record the entire screen or part of it.
Screen recording on QuickTime works as you expect: Just click Take note and then click the screen to record all or click and drag your cursor to select only a portion of the screen to record.
You can also choose the video recording quality, add your own voice by recording from your Mac’s microphone, and even choose to show your mouse clicks when recording. Pretty neat.
Trim and export QuickTime audio
Let’s say you have a video of someone giving a speech. Unless you listen carefully to what is being said, it is not easy to know exactly which part of speech. In the same way, it is difficult to know exactly where you are in any video where the frames are barely changing.
For these situations, QuickTime has a very handy feature that allows you to browse and trim only the audio of a video. What makes this feature even more interesting is that you can actually see the waveform of the audio in your video so you can tell at a glance which segments of the video are quiet and which have strong audio.
To do this just go to Editor > Cut… and then go to See > Audio track display.
When you find the segment you want using the video’s audio, you can jump to that point or simply trim it.
Then if you want to export only one sound, click Documentthen on Export and finally, choose Only sound from the drop-down menu on the pop-up dialog.
This is for today. Use these QuickTime editing tips to create your next piece of art or just play around with your video. Enjoy and share any other QuickTime tips you may know.
